December Challenge: Week Three. Get Moving!


Get moving!

DECEMBER 2019 CHALLENGE

We’re focusing on implementing a new habit each week for the last month of this decade. Last week’s challenge: add more water toy our day. Week one challenge: eat an apple a day. How are you doing with these two additions to your daily life? Are these small changes helping to crowd out food that shouldn’t be a part of your daily nutrition?

WEEK THREE: GET MOVING!

Have you ever kept track of how many of your waking hours are spent sitting at a desk or in a couch or chair at home watching television, playing video games, or connecting with friends online? Try it for a day – you might be surprised.

Here are some ways to get moving throughout the day:

Set a timer throughout the day so that you’re not sitting for more than 45 minutes without getting up to move around.

the goal is to run a half marathonMake your work meeting a walking meeting (indoors or outside). Chances are the meeting will be shorter and more productive!

Put that gym membership to use and take a class: Qigong, yoga, cycling, Pilates, zumba, etc.

Hope on a treadmill.

Take a hike.

Swap an hour of online time for an hour of walking time.

Can’t do an hour all at once? No problem! 10 minutes at a time can get you to an hour.

Bad weather? No problem! Walk around a grocery store or a mall.

Cooking a meal? Got kids in your house? AWESOME – have a dance party!! Please note: no kids required for a dance party!

Need accountability? Find someone in your life who can join you in your goal to get moving.

I don’t know about you, but I’m heading out for a walk!

You’re in control. Healthy living starts now.
